OF Camden, commissioners appointed by the
Supreme Court to settle the boundary between
Ihomaston and Warren at the upper bridge
over Georges river. have made their report,
sustaining the Thomaston claim. They fixed
the line, under the direction of the court, on

point where, should the water be all drawn

line should 60 over farther toward the War

The commissioners finding will be submitted
to the court at the September term, and if
accepted will be final and determine the line
